1 Peter 4:17-19
GOD’S WORD Translation
17 The time has come for the judgment to begin, and it will begin with God’s family. If it starts with us, what will be the end for those who refuse to obey the Good News of God? 18 If it’s hard for the person who has God’s approval to be saved, what will happen to the godless sinner? 19 Those who suffer because that is God’s will for them must entrust themselves to a faithful creator and continue to do what is good.

1 Peter 4:17-19
New International Version
17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household;(A) and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?(B) 18 And,
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[a](C)
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will(D) should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
